Just starting out
Posted by forsigmar on Sunday, February 8, 2009 4:07 PM

Hi, My name is Kurt and I am just begining to build scale models.  I have been painting Warhammer Fantasy figures for quite a few years.  I have several armies totally painted and have spent countless hours brush painting.  I am also into RC cars too.  I really enjoy building RC kits (Tamiya :) and I think that has lead to my interest in scale models.  I was shocked to find that scale models are only available in hobby shops and a few craft stores.  I remember when every drug and department store had a huge selection.  So far I have purchased a few Revell cars and I plan on picking up some Tamiya armor in the future.  I tried brush painting with Tamiya paints and was dissapointed with the results.  Needless to say they do not act like Citadel paints when brushing!  I have a Badger 155 airbrush coming in the mail and expect to have a ton of questions on how to use it.

Welcome to the Forums Kurt Sign - Welcome [#welcome].  I agree with you that Tamiya Acrylics aren't great for brush painting, although they work well for airbrushing.  Citadel is better, but my favorite is Vallejo for brush painting.

Regards,  Rick
